Being as how we're looking at putting my SO on Linux (she's *so* fed up with Windoze), big question for her: Civ 6 on CentOS? Will it run on C 7? Wait for C 8 (which I was sort of thinking of doing, anyway)?

Ubuntu yes, centos no.

if it runs on ubuntu it should run fine on centos. I play dota and other steam games on C7, no problem. I've even played dota via steam on C6, although it did take a bit of work. But C7 is fine out of the box, if you have nux-dextop repo configured you can simply: yum install steam
thanks Lucian!

I second the Nux-dextop repo .. If you have an nvidia graphics card, you will need to run the nvidia proprietary drivers.
You need the nvidia drivers that that have 32bit drivers as well.
The last version that works and seems to have 32bit support is the 390x.xx series:
https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
That is what I use on CentOS-7 with an NVIDIA card and I play Civ6 on CentOS-7 via Steam (Steam initially installed via the nux-dextop repo .. then updated as necessary from Steam).
If you install a new xorg-x11-server update, you will need to recompile the NVIDIA drivers as it replaces some CentOS files for GL.
